Mets Dealt Historic Freddy Peralta Irony

Freddy Peralta was supposed to be doing this in a New York Mets uniform. That was the whole idea last winter when the Mets traded a couple promising prospects to the Milwaukee Brewers for their right-handed ace. The year before, the Mets had lacked top-end starting pitching, and it had cost them. They planned to remedy that this season with Peralta. So they pulled off that trade for Peralta as part of an offseason of many changes — but the problem is that the moves didn’t work out.
